Hi all

I am using the standard Mosaic filter in Gimp --> Filters - Distorts - Mosaic.
I'm looking for way to shut off the lighting function as well as the joints color. Preferably I would like to have my mosaic tiles have 1 distinct color each (so no lighting effects) and no joints/different color borders between tiles.

Any suggestions/other plugins on how to best achieve this would be very welcome.

Hey guys! I use gimp on occasion but definately an amateur at it. Im currently paying a gal to take seamless images I find on vector stock, put them together then to a certain size, with the pattern on the image being around 1" in areas. Im terrible at explaining so here's another explanation: Take said image, tile it, then scale it down. I can't for the life of me figure out how to tile an image on gimp 2.8 (only version I have). Ive googled several times but it always wants me to create my own tile image, which isn't what im trying to to. any help would be great appreciated!

Hey everyone! This is kind of a weird one... 

I'm using an HP Spectre x360 hooked up to an external monitor as a drawing tablet. GIMP is open on the external monitor and I'm drawing on the HP like you would a Wacom tablet.

Everything is working, except the drawing area (I'm not sure what the right term is) is limited to a lower section of the GIMP canvas. Below is a screenshot showing where I'm able to draw. If I move the view, zoom in, or out, I can draw on those areas but it's really inconvenient to be that limited. 

Is there anyway that I can adjust the available drawing area? Since I'm not using an actual Wacom tablet, I don't have the standard "screen area" or "tablet area" settings that I feel like might fix this.



Thanks for your help!

Hi all,

Normally when I have an image that needs to be rotated according to exif data
GIMP will ask. I must have ticked "don't ask again" sometime long ago and GIMP doesn't ask anymore.
Where can I reset that setting so GIMP will ask again?

Greetings

Bonjour, voici ce que je souhaite : je sélectionne une zone d’une image puis je clique sur un »bouton » (qui aura été configuré pour avoir le bon flouté avec Flou gaussien) pour flouter cette zone. Merci de votre aide.

        Hello All!

I'm a gimp newbie and hoping someone can help me...I've attached a photo so you can see what I'm trying to do...I've added a border (gimp grow) around the logo, but it is getting cut off by the yellow dotted line, I can't seem to increase the size of this yellow dotted line box.  Anybody have any suggestions?  It would be greatly appreciated! 

I have had a minor problem with drawing tablets for some time - it is not a showstopper.

When I open GIMP the pen is greyed out in Configure input devices. If I then open Libreoffice Draw and do a scribble, close Draw without saving, the pen works correctly. It is no longer greyed out in input devices. It is as though GIMP is failing to load something which Draw then loads.

This has occurred in Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04, in GIMP 28 as well as previous versions.

For me this is only a minor irritation but a solution may help others.

using bentley microstation which often has .tiff attachments (These are engineering drawings that were hand drawn and scanned into the system over the years as industry went more CAD based). We generally use GIMP to erase elements from the drawing, use {file -> overwrite fileName.tiff} then open the file in microstation and draw in the CAD elements. The tiff and DGN files are located in the same file location, microstation opens fine until I use GIMP and overwrite the tiff. when I try to open the CAD file the program produces an error and closes. I can change the .tiff file name in which case the .DGN no longer references the file (normally attached as a Raster?) and the CAD will open without the .tiff. 

A get around I can use (though it messes up the presentation) is to open the .tiff in paint, hit save, and close it. then it's normal operating procedure. What's happening here? is GIMP changing the .tiff format? everyone else in my department has zero trouble with this so I know how it SHOULD work, but it just doesn't. tackled the issue with IT and microstation support and it appears to be a GIMP issue. 

Any and all help/suggestions are welcome! thanks folks.

I wonder if there is an option for paths in gimp that act as the scale a layer option (right click in the layer dock / Scale Layer). The option as here described set the scaled layer in the center of an existing layer, the scale option in the gimp menu (Tools / Transform Tools / Scale) set the scaled layer (path or image) on the left side of an existing layer. I can scale vertical path layers to the left side and then shift them to the right position, but for the project I'm working on it should be easier to scale paths to the center of an exiting layer.

Hi, I have been running GIMP 2.10.24 for some time and have been gradually trying to improve my knowledge of the program. However, an issue I had from the start was that the help did not work. I get this error: "Could not open 'https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-help.xml' for reading: An AppArmor policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient; type="method_call", sender=":1.117" (uid=1000 pid=9560 comm="/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/help/help -gimp 15 14 -" label="snap.gimp.gimp (enforce)") interface="org.gtk.vfs.Daemon" member="GetConnection" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.102" (uid=1000 pid=6556 comm="/usr/libexec/gvfsd-http --spawner :1.5 /org/gtk/gv" label="unconfined")"

Yesterday I had a go at resolving this by following the instructions on this page https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ downloading the flatpak program and running it. It did not update things as I had hoped. Instead, as a result, I now have two versions of GIMP, one of which, as above, still has the help not working and also the latest version whose help does work!
Obviously this is not ideal. I do not want to simply remove the older version because it has several settings and brushes etc which I do not want to lose. Similarly, neither do I want to remove the new version, not just because the help works but also for fear that I might also damage the older installation and lose that too!

However, since this morning I considered removing the older version just to see what would happen. I am using Ubuntu 21.04 and unfortunately, although both versions show up as separate icons when I click 'Show Applications', when I look at the 'Ubuntu Software' there is only one icon in there and hence I don't know what will happen if I click 'Uninstall'. I suspect I will lose the snap (older) version, which is what I would wish, but (presumably) I will then have no means of staring the newer (flatpak) version?

So, to summarise, there are two icons in the Application list but only ONE icon for the application removal - which seems to relate to the 2.10.28 version which I want to keep.
If I can just remove 2.10.24 without removing 2.10.28 I will be happy :-)


Please advise - in simple terms - I'm new to this (linux) thing.
